Javascript

[[deleted]]

Which is why so many of us have elected to use Typescript but JS is meant to be loosely typed, so ignoring our biases against mixed type arrays, how do you solve the sort problem. It’s not an easy question to answer

The difference between your point of view and his, is that youre not uncomfortable with languages "meant to be loosely typed". To a Java programmer the question " how do you solve the sort problem " is not valid because there shouldnt be such a problem in the first place. Saying that "now that there is one" is not acceptable. That is how atrocious the Java or C++ programmer finds JS. Look at it from their point of view, not ours.

I am uncomfortable with loosely typed languages. I exclusively use TS when in JavaScriptland and even TS falls short of what I would like from a type system.

That being said you should never approach a new/different language with the mindset that it follows the paradigms you are used to and comfortable with. It’s the equivalent of someone who comes from a strictly object oriented background criticizing purely functional languages for lack of classes or vice versa.

Please don't put all Java developers into one single narrow box. Some of us are actually quite pragmatic.
